Brother Eurdoek:
shall treat your mind, this unconscious
mortal mind, that Christ called "liar. "
claiming to work the truth, when there is
no truth in it, no God to support it. all its
work leads to death. Now, brother, you
want to rise higher and get up out of such
an uncomfortable state of mind that has SO
much deception in it. that makes things
that are not appear as though they were.
God says put off the old
man with all his Deeds" 'put on
the new man" and be renewed In knowl.
edge and understanding. You do not see
the signs of the times and the coming of
Christ.
God commenced the creation with the
lowest number, and run it up to the high
est. Male and female were his last
thoughts. In the creation the male stands
nearest to God, The last shall be first
and the first last Female has trusted in
mans rule nearly six thousand years. 1t is
time now that Gods highest thought came
down to overthrow the "old man with his
deeds" God says II also will laugh at
your calamity; l will mock when your
fear cometh," knowing your time is short.
Behold the day hath come, sayeth the
Lord, that | vii! make q new covenant

WHITEHORN.
Wichita eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1886-1890, 1887-03-16
DON'T BLOW.

One desiring to know the secret of the
EAGLES standing and influence with
Wichita people and of its success as news
paper was answered d. unselfish devotion
and its care in refraining from all blow;
a comprehensive understanding of
proximatc interests, dedication of every
talent for one and all of those interests, a
conservation of every section and an ad-
herence to the determination never to
elbow" The EAGLE is and always has
been for anything pertaining to Wichita's
growth, particularly in this, that it would
never permit its columns used by one In
terest to criticise or pull down any other
interest. If some institution or enterprise
failed to come exactly to the demands of
the hour it was fostered and encouraged
rather than scolded. But ever and always
blowing has been avoided by the EAGLE
True when it has come to glittering gener-
alities the EAGLE has made the most of
such harmless matters, having drawn some
rather taking pictures, but when it came
to facts and figures, to the tangible which
could be measured and estimated, it has
always RETAINED from anything IN nke olo".
keeping SO far within d.. .,:c Reality
that every man who could be
induced to come and see for
l;,x,..,f Mould ,l,a,., f;,J tI,t ti,o l.,
had not told more than half of the truth.
The EAGLE has glorified her statistical
tables, painted the town rcd and all kinds
of returns in gorgeous colors and run the
delinGuencies into smooth measures, but
when it come down to cold facts and
figures to those things which the average
monied man eats and drinks and gloats
upon, the EAGLE never blowed or lied.
For what profit is 1t if you get the whole
world to come and see YOU if they don't
stayI Because of this course half of the
newspaper editors in Kansas don't believe
that Wichita has thirty thousand people
simply because they expect when it come:
10 matter like that that all newspaper:
will claim at least half more than tht
actual facts. and that the EAGLE ought
therefore, if Wichita has $4,000 to claim
$4,000. But the EAGLE says Wichita con
tains more people than any other city il
Kansas, and when men come here the,
find that that is true Unseltish work, i
it se well directed. will even pay in the end
but gas, lying and blowing Eever. Som
newspapers by this last course are doin;
more damage to their towns than thos
same newspapers will ever overcome b,
any efforts which their editors may pu
forth.

The Grand Army of the Repablic Of

to that order that if their committee will

they can, in our Judgment, at the same
time corral sufficient funds and grounds to
do the whole business, and do it on mag.
